BASKRRVII.t, Raleigh, May 28. —The highway im provement work now in progress in the State on which some $5,000,000 will be spent from April 1 to July 1, is divided into three divisions as fol lows: (1) Improvement of county roads; (2) Reconditioning of surface treated roads and (3) resurfacing or new surfacing of surface treated roads, according to K. Vance Baise, chief highway engineer. “Before either an old or new road can be surface treated, it must be properly reconditioned, since it would be a complete waste of money to try to put down a new surface on an old road without properly reconditioning the base,” Baise said. “So we have divided the work up in order that those roads which are to be resurfac ed can be properly prepared for the new surfacing. At the present time, we have reconditioning outfits at work on some 25 different projects in 17 counties in Division C. Bhese out fits are now preparing roads for re surfacing in Wake, Franklin, Vance, Warren, <srange, Granville, Person, Alamance, Chatham, Randolph, Rock ingham, Caswell, Guilford, Davidson, Stokes and Forsyth counties. When these roads have been properly pre pared. the surface treatments gangs will then follow up the present gangs CAN YOU ANSWER THESE QUESTIONS? See Page Four 1.
